My Interview With Greg Barker, the Director of 'The Final Year'

Greg Barker spent a little more than a year shadowing Barack Obama's foreign policy team as the administration was readying to end its term. His documentary The Final Year captures 2016 in a unique, painful way. I interviewed the filmmaker for MEL, and the first thing I asked him was just how hard it was to assemble this movie after Trump's election. We talked about that and lots of other things here.
